My understanding is that Vostro is cheap and nasty build quality (which is REALLY bad if you're talking Dell - the build quality on the latitude E series is bad enough and they're supposed to be good). > I've got an M17x Alienware (they replaced my M1730 XPS when the graphics > card died and they had no parts for it) which I'm happy with apart from not > having dual core cpu.

Just get gold/premier support with it so they can come around and put all the bits back on that fall off. I've never really understood 17 inch laptops. Too damned big if you ask me. I had a quick look at the specs and it only has a vga d-sub connector and does not appear to have a dock. That would automatically give it a fail I reckon. If you get a latitude e-series with the ePort+ or whatever they call it you get *dual* DVI/DisplayPort connectors on the dock. -- David Connors ([email protected]) Software Engineer Codify Pty Ltd - www.codify.com Phone: +61 (7) 3210 6268 | Facsimile: +61 (7) 3210 6269 | Mobile: +61 417 189 363 V-Card: https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Address Info: https://www.codify.com/contact
